Quote: Elanor: that doesn't make sense. Why would the white be over one of the reds--unless the third red has a higher broodiness level or some injury?
Marianne: It makes sense to me. There's enough colors in that flock that the red bantam's color majority advantage,as well as size is almost not present.
Selena: I was never able to understand that flock dynamics class, and look at them!
Whilloughby: But...
Omelette: Well, I decided to put the white in there since it was standard fowl, not a bantam. Plus, what teacher gives you the answer right in front of your face???
Hazel: This was my chart:
Dominant 2nd class 3rd class 4th class (somewhat) Middle class 5th class 6th class 7th class
Bottom of
Pecking
Order
1 white SF 1 Red SF 1 Red SF 1 Red SF Blue bantam Blue Bantam Buff Bantam Buff bantam Buff bantam
Reason:
1st class: 2nd Class 3rd Class 4th Class Middle Class 5th Class 6th Class 7th Class
Red is the color that chickens can see; thus the Red SF would be at the middle class of the pecking order because of their color. If it weren't for the bantams, they would be at the bottom. (blank) (blank) (blank) I have the Blue Bantams higher in the pecking order because of their color. I will broaden more in the next classes
I have the Buff Bantams
in the bottom of the pecking order because
of their color

Since the color Buff is brighter
than blue, the Buff bantams
are more likely to be pecked



Omelette: Gosh Hazel!!! How long did that take??
Hazel: Mm, ten minutes?? What was your chart, Elanor?
Elanor: You classify their dominance through how well chickens see that color!?
I came up with something completely different: The minority color was always at the bottom. First the reds, then the white, then the Buff, then blue!
Marianne: Is there a way you could both be right??

missy: mommy was gone at a camp!!

Jane: Mommy hasn't been downstairs to see us all day.
Lizzy: Uncle said she was sick.

Marianne: Is there a way you could both be right??
Hazel: Um, yea.
Hedwig: Poor Hazel, she isn't used to getting her motives questioned.
Pippy: Yep, everyone always thinks she's right in class.
Omelette: Eh, it's good for her.
Hazel: No, we could not both be right, Marianne. Since her chart is completely different from mine, we could not be both be right.
Omelette: ANYWAYS, we got to come out for like an hour today!!!
Hazel: *looks at chart* What was your chart Elanor? I would think that the red would be lower since they're ya know-- red, so they would be almost all red except for their legs!
Bisquick: Yea, and us big girls got baths!!
Hazel: But looking at it from your perspective--
All chickens: HAZEL!!!!!
Hazel: What????
Pippy: Just drop it!
Snap: Yea, we got the corn ball, and we dug in the garden!
Buttermilk: I liked drying off the best. :3

Jane: Mommy hasn't been downstairs to see us all day.
Lizzy: Uncle said she was sick.

Marianne: it's no fun being sick! Hope she feels better!

 

[earlybird10842]

Elanor: I really don't understand what you're trying to get at, Hazel. The thing is, all of the big gals are red except for Midnite, and she gets picked on because she's the only black one.
Marianne : YOU'RE BOTH RIGHT!!YOU'RE BOTH RIGHT!!
Selena: OH, boy. Bisquick, Buttermilk, Snap, Omelette, Pippy, Hedwig, this could go on for DAYS if they are not stopped.
Sophia: Why do I get the feeling that they are using different curriculums that teach different pecking order philosiphys, but just happen to have the same story problem?

Sophia: Why do I get the feeling that they are using different curriculums that teach different pecking order philosiphys, but just happen to have the same story problem?

Hazel: Well, true, but the white one could be the dominant hen, depending on her personality.
Pippy: JUST STOP NOW!!! THIS WILL GO ON FOR DAYS!!!
Bisquick: Uh, yea, it could.
Snap: HAHA! That would be funny, Sophia!
Hazel: But, that is true about all the colors. I would say it would ALL depend on how the white hen is, submissive or more dominant personality.
Hedwig: Well, that's true, I'm taking Elanor's side, it seems more real and logical.
Buttermilk: Whoa, no. No one's taking sides.
Hazel: Oh please, Buttermilk, we're just having a friendly debate. Don't get your feathers in a bunch.
Omelette: I think that we could say this: INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION PROVIDED FOR THE STORY PROBLEM! *GASP* There, settled. *says very fast* And I think I like Ellie's idea more.
Hazel: GR! Yes, but don't you see-
Snap: NO WE DO NOT SEE YOUNG EINSTEIN! WE ARE SAYING IT'S INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION!!!! END OF STORY, GOODBYE, PERIOD.
Hedwig: Whoa.
Buttermilk: Definitely a way to end a debate.

Sophia's Travel log.
I am just starting to realize now that my life is not a square, penned in coop and run. The piney scented woods go on what seems like forever in every direction, there are no fences, no barriers separating us from the tall grasses and stands of birches waving beside the dainty stream. There is no ever-permeating odor here like there was at the farm, it smells of fresh mud and pine trees. Springtime here is truly lovely--not merely pretty, but lovely, trilliums and wild roses blooming everywhere you look. When I first came here, it was drabber than the farm, but now, the land is exploding with springtime.
On a completely different and much less philosophical note, Sunday I meet the neighbor chickens for the first time--exciting--but also a little scary.

Earlybird, you could write a book. Sophia's Travel logs are so full of description! I love it!

Snap: It was kind of rainy and dreary today. At least I got all my homework done today!
Bisquick: Yea, but it cleared up some, and we got to go worm hunting!
Buttermilk: Tomorrow is co-op, then we have next week, and the week after that, then a picnic then we're done school.
Snap: I AM SO READY FOR SUMMER VACATION!
Hazel: Well that kinda stinks.
Snap: WHAT?!
Hazel: I was really enjoying school, it was a nice challenge.
Pippy: Something is wrong with you.
Hazel: Thanks.
Omelette: No news on the coop yet, but we did get to go outside for a long time yesterday.
Hedwig: But, Mommy takes us out of the brooder so we can play!

Quote: A book of Sophia's Travel logs!? But I noticed something...Teen fiction is full of books about vampires and wherewolves, but NOTHING whatsoever about chickens. Maybe I can adapt my unfinished story of Trillium and Cedar.....
Earlybird, you're dreaming here! Wake up!
